Why this matters for Civitai content on Pornhub

How AI generator removal works

How ScanErase finds AI generated imagery: trace the generator, identify the app and every host, then file your own removal request.

What to do, step by step

  1. 01
    Preserve evidence before any other action Capture full page screenshots with the URL bar visible, save the highest resolution copy of the content available, and document the Civitai fingerprint indicators including civitai itself does not generate images, but hosts the model files used by other tools. Local copy of the original content or a high quality copy retrieved before removal
  2. 02
    Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms Civitai content distributed on Pornhub rarely stays there. ScanErase indexes 2.4 billion face embeddings across 200 plus platforms and identifies every current hosting location in a single scan, including additional Civitai variations.
  3. 03
    Submit the perceptual hash to StopNCII.org Generate the perceptual hash on your own device using the StopNCII.org tool. Submit only the hash, not the image itself. The hash will be propagated to Pornhub and other StopNCII.org partner platforms within 48 hours.
  4. 04
    Document the Civitai source attribution Civitai itself does not generate images, but hosts the model files used by other tools. Civitai model identification appears in metadata of images generated using a downloaded Civitai model. This attribution evidence is critical for the legal record and supports stronger statutory claims regardless of which specific action you pursue.
  5. 05
    Coordinate with Pornhub platform removal Pornhub accepts NCII reports through its trusted flagger program and through its dedicated content removal form. Verified user uploads are tied to identity documents which supports subpoenas.
  6. 06
    File the complete evidence record for the legal track StopNCII.org operates under the legal framework of the Revenge Porn Helpline (UK) provides the foundational legal basis for this action. Document every notice sent, every platform response, and every confirmation in a single evidence file. ScanErase produces this Verified Removal Package automatically as your case progresses.

Legal context

Frequently asked questions

Does it matter that the image was AI generated and not a real photograph of me?

47 USC 223a explicitly covers AI generated and digitally altered intimate imagery alongside authentic content. Civitai attribution does not weaken your claim, it strengthens the documentation of harm under the TAKE IT DOWN Act.

What if Civitai cannot be reached for direct legal action?

Civitai is currently operating without major regulatory restriction, which means removal action proceeds primarily against the distribution layer. Civitai is a Delaware entity with a published trust and safety policy and an NCII reporting form. Direct policy reports for celebrity LoRAs and adapters trained on identifiable individuals have produced removals. The action you take here proceeds independently of any direct correspondence with the source generator.

How long will Pornhub actually take to remove the content?

Pornhub typically responds in approximately 28 hours when a properly formatted statutory notice is filed. ScanErase files the notice within 5 minutes of authorization and tracks compliance through your Verified Removal Package.

Will the file Stop NCII hash action reveal my identity to Pornhub or the perpetrator?

Permanent perceptual hash record across the StopNCII.org partner network. Future upload attempts of the same image to participating platforms are blocked at the upload stage. The disclosure scope is limited to what the action requires. Your scan and removal process is not disclosed to employers, family, or any third parties beyond the recipients required by the specific legal procedure.
